Music of My Mind

(Donny lowkey outsung stevie on his cover of this but that's for another week)

Talking Book

Innervisions

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Songs In the Key Of Life

Hotter Than July

Best birthday song all time?

No contest

This version and Frank's Isaac Hayes' too. Even the original, just a perfect song.

Great Artist

Legendary Capper

This about him being blind?

IN, A legend

Of course

This THAT S***!

A legend in every right. That's my goat.

Thank God for those long nights to New Orleans when my biological father would put me onto some music when I was little. My fav album by Stevie by far is Innervisions. I adore that album.

Great thread op. Maybe we can let other people choose an artist every week? It’s your decision tho

Maaaaan Contusion at 4:51 is just mad!

Hard for me to pick a favorite album but my favorite song by him is easily Rocket Love. That Girl is probably number 2 or 1 depending on the mood.

Stevie has one of the best arguments for GOAT modern musician. Here's the original songs that were sampled in Hip-Hop.

Gangster's Paradise - Coolio

Love Me Not - Cole

Wild Wild West - Will Smith

So Many Tears - 2pac

No I agree with this. I would love for this to be collaborative, I'm not sure if there's a poll option and truthfully I just noticed that there doesn't seem to be a direct messaging option on KTT2??

Just wait till I touch on James Brown and George Clinton. We goin through all the heavily sampled goats.

Need to do Nina, too. Watched her doc recently on Netflix, real s***. But not trying to derail from the weeks topic. Y'all recommend any Stevie documentaries? In a mood to watch one.

No doubt. I watched hers last year. It’s sad how she went out but she was such a powerful brilliant courageous mind. Most artists wouldn’t dream of going the lengths she went for what she believed in.

Actually not familiar with any stevie docs but if you find any go ahead and shout me out

Oof. Didn’t know you had something similar. Next week’s topic can be yours for compensation. Got anyone in mind?

Oh no bro, what I posted was a joke thread. You still got it lol.
